LA BOUND!
This is the headline that ran almost exactly a year ago announcing a weekend
visit to the ‘land of milk and honey,” but this time it’s
different. Plans have been in the works for about a half a year now, but
here is the formal announcement – From late February through June
(at least) I will be living in Los Angeles.
Columbia College has a five week Semester in
LA program on the CBS Studio City lot. In the
program we are given opportunities to pitch scripts to studio exec’s,
register with WGA, and make all the ideal connections.
After the program I have the opportunity to partake in an internship.
Right now my top choice is HBO, but we’ll see what develops.
While there I also hope to catch up with friends like Adrienne
Thibeault, Lisa Callahan, Tom Clark (who will be on Kilborne
Tuesday night), and as many other friends from the Hollywood Café
and online as possible.
METROMIX: THE TV SHOW
With my departure to LA quickly approaching, I finished up my internship
with CLTV’s “Metromix.” My time there
resulted in excellent hands-on experience, and irreplaceable memories.
I have a huge debt of gratitude to Julie
Fleetwood, Stephanie Kurtz, Chris Brown and Lee
Ann Trotter. Another big thanks goes out to Dave
Fraiser and Stacy Car
for making it possible in the first place.
A huge congratulations goes out to the Metromix staff for the upcoming
100th episode!
VOICES FROM THE CHICAGO GRAVE
Yes, this CD-ROM is in a perpetual state of almost being released. We
are very happy to announce that noted Chicago news anchor Bill
Moller is currently writing the introduction.
SITE OF THE MONTH
What else? It’s www.cltv.com
and www.metromix.com!
cltv.com keeps you on the cutting edge of breaking news stories –
nationally and Chicago/local – as they happen. Metromix.com is the
site to look at when planning a night out on the town in Chicago. Restaurant,
film, theater reviews, and much more is found here (including air times
for “Metromix: the TV Show”). If you’re a Chicagoan
or just visiting, don’t do a thing without first checking out www.metromix.com.
